Nick Tegrataker, 16 Mar 2022Key findings from this review:
- No IP ratings? Seriousl... moreGo check a review that is really detailed about screen.
- low pwm: almost as bad as galaxy and iphone
- bad viewing angles : screen goes very blueish
- brightness uniformity is far from ideal. Some parts have significant difference from other.

The CE and trash can logos are really unnecessarily big and visible. And Xiaomi brand is barely visible. Is there regulation for regulation badges that they need to be more visible than the brand logo itself? My iPhone also has these two so big on the back it just makes no sense. It's like designing beautiful car and then permanently stamp an energy label on it on the outside, in the middle of the hood. Like, WHY?! Just etch these in super tiny next to USB port on the bottom or something...

That’s weird as I have found 1 Youtuber with no throttling at all for his Xiaomi 12 Pro and it’s a global version, only the Chinese version did. 3DMark was 99.4% but peak scores are also much lower.
Unless GsmArena is reviewing the global version as well, then it’s clear the Chinese model used cheaper components and worse MIUI build. If so, then there is probably some sort of GOS like Samsung or modified GPU drivers.

What is the main camera real resolution?
50MP or 12.5MP?

I think is not necessarily Xiaomi's fault. At least regarding the battery life and chipset throttling. Is also SD flagship chipsets that are not that good (for battery and sustained performance with minimum heat dissipation).
I think they should have gone with Dimensity chipsets for this models. Dimensity 8100 and 9000 look promising. Probably cheaper phones too. But, they will surely release some models with Dimensity chipsets this year, both Realme and Xiaomi.

Sozimed Naevroc, 16 Mar 2022I think the Mi 10 Pro is slightly better than the Mi 12 Pro... moreThe screen and main camera are not as good but apart from that it's probably on par or better. Better zoom camera, much better speakers and better battery life

Nick Tegrataker, 16 Mar 2022Key findings from this review: - No IP ratings? Seriousl... moreA good summary here. Basically it's fairly good but not really an upgrade at all on the 11pro in terms of hardware. The same goes for the Xiaomi 12 compared to the Xiaomi 11. Actually the screen on the Xiaomi 12 is a significant downgrade which is probably one of the reasons why the sales of the Xiaomi 12 are so much worse than the Xiaomi 11 were in China. Also like you say the pricing is a little on the high side. The 12 pro will be ok when the price drops. That will probably happen pretty quickly here in China

I've read that newer models and global models have much better thermals and battery life.

noo, 15 Mar 2022Miui is terrible at optimization, wth only 74hrs.You can fix that easily if you have used Miui long enough. In fact, I can no longer live without it (too many good features to give up, and they are worth dealing with the many bugs)
Miui 13 is supposed to take optimisation to a new level, so we will see about that soon enough.

The captured images from main camera look to have some color shift at the left bottom corner, possibly due to lens vignetting.

Oh no, that battery life. Xiaomi should have gone with Dimensity, lol.

I wonder if GSM Arena uses the phone few days or weeks, time in which the phone is adapting to the style of the user.

Too rush on the product design by Xiaomi that overlooked this problem.
They should done better and did more testing on the heat management against chip performance.

Ridiculously poor battery life, poor speakers and no dust and water protection on the Pro model of their flagship? What was Xiaomi thinking?
